It started with a few residents discussing the recent snowfall.
"6-702 The Lover: It’s been snowing for a whole day straight, hasn’t it? It’s so cold. I wonder when it’ll stop."
"7-901 Adventurous Lawson: @6-702 The Lover What’s wrong with snow? As long as it snows, we have a water source. I’m so sick of the days of drought and water shortages. Today was the first time I’ve washed my hair and showered in six months."
"2-1908 Coco: I was worried that when it got colder, the pipes would freeze and the water supply would be cut off. If it’s snowing, at least we’re guaranteed not to die of thirst."
"3-1007 Kiki, Mom of Two: The snow is so heavy this year, the drought will surely be alleviated. We should be able to plant crops normally next year, right?"
"6-702 The Lover: @7-901 Adventurous Lawson It’s not that I think snow is bad. I just don’t want to trudge through it every day to get my sand vine cake. It’s just too cold. I went out today and came back to find frost on my eyelashes."
"@4-1009 Lowell On Deadline: Yeah, it would be great if management could deliver. I don’t want to go out in the snow every day for a sand vine cake either."
"4-1209 Just Slacking: @4-1009 Lowell On Deadline There are so many people in the whole complex, and a lot of new residents have moved in recently. How could they possibly deliver to everyone?"
"2-1908 Coco: Besides, the management staff are people too. They’re not supermen who don’t feel the cold or get tired."
"4-1009 Lowell On Deadline: Ugh, fine. I guess I’ll just starve then."
"..."
Up to this point, the chat was completely normal, nothing strange. But what came next was... not right.
"5-601 Ocean: Heh, I’m freezing like a pathetic dog every day, and all I get to eat is this stuff that looks like slugs. There’s no point in living like this..."
"4-1604 CloudSeeker: Sigh, we ordinary people can only eat sand vine cakes every day, but some people living in the same complex get to eat and drink well... It’s so unfair when you think about it."
"3-1007 Kiki, Mom of Two: @4-1604 CloudSeeker Our complex? Who? Who’s eating and drinking well every day?"
"4-1604 CloudSeeker: @3-1007 Kiki, Mom of Two It’s our neighbors in 4-1606. We just dropped by and saw. They’re still able to drink orange juice and eat apples!"
"3-1007 Kiki, Mom of Two: @4-1604 CloudSeeker Wow~ That’s amazing! I went to the market yesterday. A single small apple costs seven or eight hundred yuan now. Your neighbors must be really rich!"
"4-1604 CloudSeeker: @3-1007 Kiki, Mom of Two I know, right? Sigh, we common folk can only be envious. Who knows how much food they’ve hoarded..."
"4-1603 Titus: @4-1604 CloudSeeker Is that true? Hey, pretty lady? The people in 1606 next door really have that much food?"
"4-1604 CloudSeeker: @4-1603 Titus It’s absolutely true! I saw the empty juice bottle and apple peels in their trash!"
"7-901 Adventurous Lawson: Apple peels? They’re still peeling their apples in times like these? What a luxury! If you gave me an apple right now, I’d chew up the core and swallow it!"
